Christmas is the most magical time of year – but, it’s also one of the most stressful. Things can easily get on top of you as there’s so much you need to budget for like presents, nights out and new Christmas jumpers. It’s essential to step back from all this and have a moment to yourself. Even if it’s just to watch a festive movie with your best friend.
We don’t know about you, but with all the mulled wine, advent calendar chocolate and late nights shopping for the perfect party dress, we’re starting to break out already.
